What causes your body to shake uncontrollable?

Essential tremor

Essential tremor is the most common movement disorder. It is characterized by involuntary, rhythmic shaking of the hands, head, or other body parts. Essential tremor is usually not a serious condition, but it can be embarrassing and interfere with daily activities. The exact cause of essential tremor is unknown, but it is thought to be caused by abnormal activity in the brain.

Parkinson's disease

Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement. It is characterized by tremors, slow movement, muscle rigidity, and impaired balance. Parkinson's disease is caused by the loss of nerve cells in the brain that produce dopamine.

Multiple sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It can cause a variety of symptoms, including tremors, muscle weakness, fatigue, and vision problems. Multiple sclerosis is thought to be caused by the body's immune system attacking the myelin sheath, which is the protective covering of nerve cells.

Other conditions

Other conditions that can cause uncontrollable shaking include:

* Thyroid problems

* Certain medications

* Alcohol withdrawal

* Drug use

* Genetic disorders

If you are experiencing uncontrollable shaking, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
